The Inside Scoop

We've shown you the outside of our 32' home on wheels, but we've never let you peek inside.  So this here story is all about showing you our living quarters so you can get a feel for the space we are enjoying on our journey.

We'll start off with the living room (below) that consists of a couch (actually, Sadie's couch--on the left--where she can usually be found), a recliner (on the right between the kitchen sink and the passenger's chair--you can barely see it), Sherwood's bed (right behind Sherwood who happens to be laying right, smack, dab in the middle of the living room floor), and the passenger's chair (to the right of the driver's chair) which turns around to provide additional seating while we are stationary.  The TV is mounted right between the driver's and passenger's seats.  We also have Dish Network so that whenever there's a signal we'll have some sort of TV as well as cable in most RV parks.  And, we brought along a few DVDs to watch too.

Below is the dinette (on the right) that also functions as my computer area. The dinette seats four, and right in front of it is the couch.  The kitchen area (on the left) features a sink, counter space, 3-burner stove, microwave above the stove, and then refrigerator/freezer combo.  Dead ahead under the mirror are the dogs' water and food bowls.

Below is a closer view of the kitchen area.  We use an old-fashioned coffee pot on the stove to make our coffee.  I think I've owned that pot over 40 years and have been using it camping all that time.  It's hard to part with something that has so many precious memories attached to it.  So, we forego an electronic appliance for coffee and make it in the percolator every morning!  Actually, Gary makes it because he is ALWAYS up before me!

Now, on to the next room, the bathroom (below).  I've included two photos one looking right (toward the shower) and the other looking left (toward the cabinets).  Don't know what I can say about them except they are very functional :)  The hallway that leads from the kitchen past the bathroom to the bedroom has closet space for additional storage.

Finally, the last room, the bedroom (queen-sized bed) and Gary's office area (to the right of the closet).  Basically, the bed is on one side (it slides out) and the closet and computer alcove are on the opposite side.  The TV in the bedroom is located right above the Gary's Alcove.  He loves this little cubby hole for working on his computer.  We also bought a wireless printer so we can print anything we might need, like RV park reservations, things to do in a city, and recipes (of course!).  I have over 20 cookbooks, all of which are in storage. So, I just bought a cookbook at a local Goodwill store to have something besides Internet recipes ... which I love, by the way. 

Well, that's all there is to see in our traveling home.  It's got everything you need to live life in "comfort".  We always put our two camping chairs and folding table outside under the awning which gives us a nice outside area.  Generally, we don't eat outside because Gary HATES (and no the word is not too strong for use here) eating in the wind. 

 

We're in Portland now, and the weather is warmer than the coast so once again, we are thankful for air conditioning!  Can't live without it in an RV, that's for sure.  Same goes for that lovely little heater when it gets cold.

 

Hope you enjoyed the inside scoop into our lives.  Until next time ... keep the faith!
